I saw one today at a flea market and was thinking of buying it but it didn't come with a foot control (so I would have to order that as well as a manual)
What are your thoughts on the Singer 774 sewing machine. It also has a case.

This is a model I probably wouldn't purchase, especially without a foot controller. It is the Stylist, and I think has plastic gears. It could be okay, but there are better vintage machines in the same price range.

One of the gals at my sewing class had one and she liked it. I sold them at a singer store while my husband was in college (mid 70's). They were one of the first ones that had the nylon gears. So if it was stored properly, it might be worth buying. But it's tough decision without trying it.
